  • North Macedonia: 'New' Country Facing Old Problems
    North Macedonia: ‘New’ country facing old problems A research on the name change of the Republic of North Macedonia Willem Posthumus – s4606027 Master Thesis Human Geography - Conflicts, Territories and Identities Nijmegen School of Management Radboud University Nijmegen Supervisor Henk van Houtum October 2019 36.989 words Once, from eastern ocean to western ocean, the land stretched away without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected nameless mountains; and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys into nameless bays. G. R. Stewart, 1945, p. 3 2 I Preface After a bit more than a year, I can hereby present my master’s thesis. It’s about a name. Around 100 pages about a name: I could not have thought it would be such an extensive topic. Last year I had heard about Macedonia, or the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as it was often called. I didn’t know it that well, just that it used to be part of Yugoslavia, obviously. An item in the news, however, triggered my interest: the country was about to change its name to North Macedonia. ‘Why?’ I thought. I didn’t know about the name dispute, but the more I read about it, the more I wanted to know. When I had to choose a subject for my master’s thesis, I knew I would look at this name change. A year later, I think I understand the name change and the dispute better. Still, the topic is more complicated than I thought. Understanding everything there is about it would probably take a lot more time.

  • Introduction
    Introduction “As I have said time and again, my job is to get rid of my job. I am quite clear that the OHR is now into the terminal phase of its mandate”, said then High Representative for the international community in BIH Paddy Ashdown in his speech in front of the Venice Commission1 in October 2004. For over eight years now the international community has been discussing the downscale of its presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina2, which since the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995 has been run as a virtual protectorate. But not much has changed since Ashdown’s speech. Although the country has gone forward in all fields and the security situation has improved drastically since 1995, with the number of NATO peacekeeping forces decreasing from 60,000 to only 1,6003 and with BIH currently a temporary member of the UN Security Council, no arrangements have been made to grant more sovereignty to local politics. And due to recent negative developments in politics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the prospect of getting rid of the ‘informal trusteeship’ now seems more distant than it was at the time of Ashdown’s speech. The OHR, acronym for Office of the High Representative, is the international body responsible for overseeing the implementation of the civilian aspects of the treaty which ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is governed by a council of 55 countries and international organizations charged with overseeing Bosnia’s reconstruction, formally organized into an umbrella organization called the Peace Implementation Council (PIC). It is the PIC who 1The European Commission for Democracy through Law, better known as the Venice Commission, is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional matters.

  • National ERA Roadmap of the Czech Republic for the Years 2016-2020
    National ERA Roadmap of the Czech Republic for the years 2016-2020 INTRODUCTION The Czech Republic contributes to the advancement of European Research Area (hereinafter referred to as “ERA”) from the very beginning of creation of this concept in 2000 by both its national policies as well as by engagement in international cooperation in R&D and innovation. ERA cannot exist without pro-active participation of individual Member States neither without support and coordination provided by the European Commission. Since the well-functioning ERA – contributing by means of R&D and innovation to address grand societal challenges and economic needs – is a fundamental precondition for an overall improvement of the quality of life of European citizens, further development of the ERA is our common goal and the Czech Republic is fully prepared to be an active player in pursuing these tasks. The visibility and importance of ERA – granted by the reference to completion of ERA in 2014 and by confirmation of ERA as one of the cornerstones of the Europe 2020 strategy Innovation Union Flagship – gave a new impetus and momentum to a more targeted debate on the role, functioning and governance of ERA in the following years. Recognition of significance of the advancement of ERA and the need of coherent and well targeted cooperation between the European Commission and Member States triggered an intensive discussion on these topics both in the ERAC (European Research Area and Innovation Committee) and Council´s Research Working Group, which resulted in the adoption of “ERA Roadmap for the years 2015-2020”. The Czech Republic is of the opinion that the individual priority axes of the ERA Roadmap are well selected and defined and respond to areas, which require targeted focus for the further advancement of ERA.

  • Annual Report 2016 FOREWORD
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 FOREWORD EL CAMINO SE HACE AL ANDAR ach and every year with streetfootballworld feels very special. ANNUAL REPORT 2016, again, was extraordinary in its own right. It was not only time for the largest football for good encounter ever in Lyon, 2016 EFrance, it was also a reunion 10 years after our very first global gathering at the streetfootballworld festival 06 in Berlin, Germany. In addition, and beyond the numeric and symbolic it was historic: after the huge organisational shift in 2014 when we decided to embark on a journey that would require us all to think and act beyond our immediate responsibilities within our individual organisations and communities. I still well remember the moment when we unanimously and wholeheartedly accepted the challenge to not “only” be successful as organisations or as a network of organisations, but that we believed in the potential of collectively investing in building a sustainable and resilient football for good ecosystem. It was a big decision that implies responsibilities and risks beyond the daily challenges that already often seem insurmountable. It was a bet on the future, accepting the uncertainty of the new and taking on the foreseeable doubts and scepticism by those stuck in the status quo of cemented inequalities. We decided, however, that we were mature and solid enough to reach for the stars, make the impossible possible, walk our talk, brave this massive step and take our vision to the street and change the world through football. The incredible days of celebration in Lyon certainly lived up to these historic times.

    No. 190 MAY/JUNE 2020 OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE UNION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATIONS 2m No.190 • May/June 2020 No.190 STAY SAFE EDITORIAL Aleksander Čeferin UEFA President FOOTBALL WAITS… AND SHOWS ITS BEATING HEART t is only a matter of weeks since European football was looking forward with great anticipation to an exciting climax to the UEFA and domestic competition seasons, as well as UEFA EURO 2020, a unique tournament Ibridging 12 countries and celebrating the 60th anniversary of the continent’s premium men’s national team competition. Since then, life in Europe and beyond has been turned on its head by the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus. Football has been brought to a halt at both European and national levels. UEFA has been forced to postpone all its club and national team competitions until further notice, while moving EURO 2020 to the summer of 2021 and UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 to the following year. UEFA reacted swiftly in making these decisions, within a full and frank consultation process not only with its 55 member associations, but also with fellow football stakeholders – clubs, leagues and players’ unions. It was the correct decision at the right time, based on common sense, in compliance with national measures and World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. The unprecedented circumstances indeed made it impossible for any sport to take place. I have been extremely proud of how UEFA and its stakeholders have acted together in a spirit of full and honest cooperation at this time. This spirit remains truly alive within a situation that is in a state of constant evolution.
